In this episode of Radiotherapy, host Hollie sits down with Sonia from Young Lives vs Cancer and Lauren, a former patient turned advocate. Together, they unpack the charity’s mission to support young people and families through the toughest times, offering everything from emotional and financial help to accommodation near hospitals.

Listeners will hear first-hand how Young Lives vs Cancer steps in when life turns upside down, and how its Voice Board empowers survivors and families to shape policy and services. Lauren shares her deeply personal journey from diagnosis to remission and why giving back matters. Sonia explains the charity’s North Star vision, its fight against cancer costs, and exciting projects like the Cancer Collective.
